In Colorado, DM1 typically refers to a Drug Misdemeanor 1. Possession of controlled substances categorized as a DM1 can be eligible for sealing, depending on specific circumstances.

Eligibility and Waiting Period for Sealing a DM1 in Colorado

Under Colorado law, convictions for certain drug offenses, including Drug Misdemeanor 1 (DM1), can be sealed. Here’s how it generally applies:

1. Eligibility: You may be eligible to petition for sealing if you have completed all court-ordered conditions and no longer have a pending criminal case.

2. Waiting Period: The waiting period for sealing a DM1 conviction in Colorado is typically two years from the completion of the sentence, including probation and any fines or court costs.

Additional Considerations

• If your case was dismissed or you were acquitted, you may be eligible for immediate sealing without a waiting period.

• If your DM1 charge involved other offenses, eligibility for sealing may depend on the nature of those additional charges.
